About this map

Old River-Winfree and Beach City anchor this coastal landscape where the Trinity River delta meets Trinity Bay. This 2010 survey reveals an environment defined by complex hydrology, from the meandering Old River and The Cutoff to expansive water bodies like Dutton Lake and Lost Lake. The mapping of several family-named burial sites, including Tilton Cemetery, Icet Cemetery, and Montgomery Cemetery, provides vital ground-truth data for genealogists and local historians tracking early settlers in this part of Harris County.

Industrial activity is prominent throughout the quadrangle, evidenced by several energy sites such as the North Cotton Lake Oil Field and the Trinity Bay Oil Field. Transport and infrastructure are represented by facilities like Slack Airport and the massive Cedar Bayou Generating Pond Levee, illustrating the intersection of residential growth and the regional energy economy in the early 21st century.
